California dairy farmers ran some great "Happy Cows" commercials over a decade ago. I guess "Happy Pigs" just doesn't work as a marketing strategy.

My Favorite California Happy Cows Commercials

This was written by Joel Salatin. He is a self-described “Christian libertarian environmentalist capitalist lunatic farmer”. We get a lot of our meats from his farm in Swoope, VA.

Rule of thumb: Any legislation with a cutesy-poo acronym is evil.

I know that before I know what's alleged to be in it or really in it.

Joel Salatin is getting a lot of play on FR this week!

"The Bill of Rights constrains the federal government from infringing on numerous freedoms. Animal production systems are not an enumerated purview. In case we've forgotten, the constitution is silent on most things because the objective was robust experimentation--the 50-state experiment--and putting governance as close to the citizenry as possible.

The reason our nation is in the throes of amplified partisan acrimony is because we continue arrogating regulatory intervention to the federal level. This creates an unnecessary and unprecedented winner-to-all environment, which raises the stakes on every policy issue to aggressively partisan levels. If we are ever going to reduce the rage temperature it must start by reducing federal meddling at the state and local level."

Amen, Amen, AMEN!

But - you can still count on at least half of our states remaining CLUELESS when it comes to food production. You know, those states that PRODUCE NEXT TO NOTHING and CONSUME EVERYTHING?!? Those BLUE ones located around the outer edges of America. Yeah - THEM!

Grow your own. Raise Your Own. Learn to FEED yourself. Buy LOCAL when you can. Bake bread. Make your own wine. Go to the Farmer's Market on Saturdays. Make butter. Make cheese. Join a local co-op. Find a Farmer and make him/her your FRIEND...and then marry them, LOL!

We are so BLESSED where we live. We rent our crop land to the local Dairy Farmer. Our other neighbor raises pork and beef. We raise all the 'side dishes' as in tomatoes, peppers, squashes, potatoes, etc.

The third leg of our local stool is a horse ranch; Transportation!

And everyone is a crack shot and a good dancer. ;) Y'all come! Still PLENTY of room for FReepers who want to live a SANE LIFE out here in The Heartland. :)

Yeah I saw those sows in crates, nearly hairless, pinkish with enough room for them and their babies to get milk for a short time before being separated. “the other white meat”

Overly bred to a certain pig but it ain’t a real pig. They would die out in the sun with their lack of hair and they would have no desire to hit a mud puddle to help with that because all instinct has been bred out of them.

It’s not GMO. It’s too much inbreeding for a specific, unnatural way of raising them.
